The next stage in the search for the remains of two slain Indigenous women in a Manitoba landfill has officially begun.
Premier Wab Kinew updated reporters on the search Monday alongside project management lead Amna Mackin.
He said a team has begun searching a targeted zone of landfill material where the remains are believed to be.
Kinew said he was on scene at the Prairie Green Landfill Monday morning as a truck drove the first load of material to the search facility.
From there, team members began searching the materials for the remains of Marcedes Myran and Morgan Harris.
“We found some items which indicate that we are in the right date range and time and of course, they are proceeding meticulously and preserving items that will help us to determine that we’re on a proper course here,” Kinew told reporters at the Manitoba legislature.
This is the fourth stage of a five-stage plan that is expected to continue until the spring.
